A young female bear caused a stir after wandering out of the forest and into the leafy suburbs of the Lithuanian capital.
For two days, the brown bear ambled through the neighborhoods of Vilnius,
trotted across highways and explored backyards
— all while being chased by onlookers with smartphones and, eventually, drones.
The government then issued a permit for the bear to be shot and killed.
That did not go down well with Lithuania’s hunters who refused, aware …

Lithuanian hunters refuse government request to shoot a wild bear in the capital
Lithuanian hunters have refused to shoot a wild bear that was spotted roaming around the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius and criticized the government for issuing a permit to kill a member of the protected species. The Lithuanian Association of Hunters and Fishermen says in a statement it is shocked by the decision of the Environment Ministry to shoot the bear. The bear now seems to be out of danger as it was spotted on Wednesday walking through forested areas well outside the city. A government …

When topics of discourse prove difficult to approach, stories can help us on our way. This famed short story about a graceful city with an unexpected abberation helps me reflect on where I want to apply my capacity for writing, sketching and teaching.

I believe I have managed to prove my ID in order to comply with the new laws that say I have to prove my ID to own the business I own that I'm sure already asked me to prove my ID when I registered it.
First we tried the on-web version, but that apparently relies upon the corporates having managed to profile and track me, because it told me they had no questions upon which to base identification. Good I guess? My avoid-tracking systems must be working at least a bit?
Next we tried the android app, but apparently the phone I tried that with is too old and the app won't install.
So next option is turning up at a post office with a printed letter. I don't own a printer though, so had to have them post that to me.
Took the letter and a driving licence up to the post office today and "It's not going through" they said, pointing to a stalled progress bar on an android app on a tablet.
Um. Okay. So?
Just wait longer apparently. About ten minutes and it finally proceeded and the post office man took a photograph of me after asking me to disrobe of my robe, strip down to a teeshirt and jeans.
Not sure in what sense this has proven my ID any more than it was already proven to get the driving licence or company registration in the first place?
Apparently I now have government logins for "One Login" and for "government gateway" and they are not the same thing? But sort of are the same thing?
Can't say I really understand it. Expect they'll introduce a third government login when they do these Digital ID cards they're talking about.
God knows how I'm supposed to know which to use when the company tax records need updating in a few months.

Schoof: we proberen als kabinet nog steeds de instroom omlaag te krijgen
Vraag: noemt u dat een asielcrisis?
Schoof: we vinden het nog steeds heel belangrijk om de instroom omlaag te krijgen.
Vraag: dat is geen antwoord ...
Schoof: ik vind het wel een antwoord.
